Casee: Today I’m reading What We Find by Robyn Carr. I haven’t read anything by Robyn Carr in ages. I was disillusioned by the Virgin River series ages ago and I never came back from it. What We Find is the first book in a new series called Sullivan’s Crossing. It does have eerie similarities to the first book in the Virgin River series, but I’m making myself set that aside and keep reading it. I really have loved Robyn Carr in the past and want to like this book.
Going from paranormal to contemporary is an adjustment. I have a few Sherrilyn Kenyon books to read. One from the library (Dark-Hunter) and I’m trying her League series. Wish me luck!
Rowena: I’m not reading anything right now. I tried to start reading For the Win by Sara Rider but there just hasn’t been any time. My niece gets married tomorrow and it’s been one thing after another for that so I’m hoping to finally dig into For the Win on Sunday. Wish me luck.
What are you reading this week?
I’m reading the fourth in the Nocturne Falls series by Kristen Painter. These are cute, interesting, quick paranormals. This one is The Professor Woos the Witch.
Books recently read and enjoyed include ~
— Sonata for a Scoundrel by Anthea Lawson. This is a historical romance that I found while shelving as a volunteer at the library. [The danger/downside of volunteering is that one ends up taking many books home; the upside is that one can read the blurbs without having one’s wages docked.] It was an enjoyable read, and I may well read the author’s other book which was on the shelf.
— the new adult contemporary romance Jockblocked: A Novel (Gridiron Book 2) by Jen Frederick. It’s evidently the second in a series, but I found it to stand alone well.
— I also re-read with pleasure Marie Force’s Fatal Affair: Book One of the Fatal Series as well as the prequel to the series One Night With You. These are romance suspense. One Night With You is currently free to Kindle readers.
— I also read the prequel short story Girl From Above 0.5 (Prequel): Falling (The 1000 Revolution) by Pippa DaCosta after hearing a very good review. I was left somewhat under-impressed. I do have the fist book in the series and might continue on to see if I like that one more. The series was likened to Firefly. Girl From Above 0.5 is also currently free to Kindle readers.
— I finished Nora Roberts’ latest book The Obsession; I enjoyed it, if one can say that about a book featuring serial killers. I figured out the current day killer’s identity about halfway through the book, so I was pleased with myself.
— the contemporary romance Built: A Saints of Denver Novel by Jay Crownover. It was an enjoyable read.
— the enjoyable illustrated account Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride by Lucy Knisley. I’ve read several other books by this author/illustrator and enjoyed them all. Having recently attended my nephew’s wedding (and having heard some tales of the associated angst), this was a timely read.
— and currently reading Jo Goodman’s latest western historical romance
